Everquest As A Tool For Building A Strong Marriage, or, The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together.So, Beth's character, Kytie, reached seventh level, which means she can 'group' with my 12 level Beastlord. We are bo…
Posting because I must.Worried about Beth.Killing Loda Kai Poachers.Unable to get to the SWG discussion boards.Cricket is on the monitor.Bored and hot at work -- no AC.Going to bed.
I suppose I'd better post.
This weekend was spent, of course, writing. Or, rather, editing, which is much less fun. To be more precise, adjusting numbers to bring them in line with revised rules, which is pure tedium.

I posted this on Usenet, and am egotistical enough to repost it here, in case there's people out there not Kiboing my posts.
The thread was about "How will Spike show up on 'Angel', being that he's all dusty and stuff n…
Thursday afternoon. Going through source code looking for unhandled exceptions. Got a nice surprise in the e-mail, today, though -- some concept art for an upcoming product I'm working on.
I write because I can't draw.…
Have to post or I'll really lose the habit.
Bad news: Brunching shuttlecocks, one of my all-time favorite sites, is dead. :(
Slight compensation: www.bookofratings.com, by one of the creators of Brunching, is up, and, …
I suppose I'm required by law to offer my review of "The Matrix Reloaded". This will contain spoilers, so, read at your own risk...
Overall, I liked it a lot. Contrary to a lot of fanboys, I didn't feel betrayed, let …

Blogging because if I don't, I'll start really breaking my semi-rhythm.Lessee. Settled down to write 4K words, wrote, with great difficulty, about 3100...will finish up tomorrow. Suddenly found a total dearth of idead co…
OK, I read this episode of Dork Tower and had to say, "Yeah, that's me." I won't be caught dead watching a normal "soap opera", but wrap it up in some gauze of science fiction or fantasy, or just animate it (Princess 9),…
Tuesday afternoon obligo-blog. Today we learned about XSD, which is a schema for XML documents. We spent most of the morning trying to figure out why our schema, which was almost working, wasn't. Then we learned that max…
OK.
Didn't blog yesterday. Short summary, got up circa 9:00, and spent two hours cleaning the condo in anticipation of Beth's 11:00 arrival, which occured at 12:30. Got lunch at Wendy's. Napped. I napped until 4:00, B…
Racing the clock post.
Met Doug. Went to work to get some stuff I've been meaning to bring home for a while. Had a comedy of errors with the printer. Saw Ken&Gen. Watch Muppet Show and Star Wars:Empire Strikes Back.…
Beth didn't call me yesterday. :( Not sure if I should start fretting or not; I mean, she didn't promise to call every day...
IAE, a certain little black cat has figured out I am the interim Giver of Pain and Delight...…
So.
Depsite mild headache, I decided to settle down to a late dinner of shake&bake pork and see what was on TiVo.
Yay! A Futurama I hadn't seen!
Boo! TiVo got the wrong channel! (It does this a lot less frequently…
Thursday eve. Beth hasn't called, but, then, she's probably been conferencing all day. I won't start worrying until her outbound flight.
Work slogs along. Life slogs along. About one-third done with my latest writing as…
Heard from Beth. She will not have i-net access during the trip, so, do not expect her to blog, unless she finds an unattended terminal somewhere. She's safely in Ohio, or whichever state it is she's going to...
OK, checked her itinerary, she's not even scheduled to make it to Dallas yet.
Fretting momentarily abated.
while(1=1)
{
printf("Fret.\n"):
}
How long does it take to fly to Ohio, anyway?
So Beth is off flying to Ohio or some other flyover state, which, when you think of it, is sort of odd...if it's a "flyover" state, why is she landing there? Maybe she can scout locales for our summer trip, we'll be some…
Didn't blog yesterday. Didn't even check my email from 4:00 PM yesterday to noon today. Hands shaking. Eyes blurry. Etc.
General lack of energy, enthusiasm, and interest. I have a long task list and not much passion. Th…
Today was mostly a work day. I've spent five hours upgrading a document from one version of D20 to another, a process I assumed would take two. At the five hour mark, I'm about 60% done. Took time off to watch an episode…
Saw X-Men 2 last night. In short, it rocked. Totally. And the setup for the third movie was obvious, and heavily based on events in the comic. If it succeeds as well as the first two, it will be the first superhero trilo…

Thursday evening. Hot, sweaty, and cranky. A lot of little trivial things are starting to add up, and I'm in a state of irk. Good news is, I sent off the final draft of BoW. Now to get to work on everything else. (Guess …
